That server... he's adorable. Then again, most PowerEdge units are. At least the X20 series didn't suffer from the weird early deaths, or I should say vegetative states that some eleventh generations suffered from, mine included. (My T110 has been alive for eleven years now, but he's only been productive for about eight of those. He's running, but even after a system board replacement, he never acted like his peers during the 2010/2011 era.)

Doesn't this server only support up to Windows Server 2012 or something? I have been playing around with an R410 or an R230 and although I can install Windows Server 2019 on them just fine, the updates and drivers etc and everything on Dell's website only goes up as far as 2012. So what do we do?

@sunnylm2045

Great video Jim, thanks for the power testing. do you know if this server will be able to install ESXI 8? i'm looking between R230 vs R320 but i found R230 only support E3 and RAM upto 64GB, whereas R320 support E5 and 96GB RAM, thanks

Actually, the orange light is flashing because the top cover is off...in this case anyway. Can't wait to see more of the homelab.

Hi, great video. I’m trying to build an home lab myself and I’m looking for a r320. If all goes well, I’ll have it next week. You installed server 2022, but I was looking at installing server 2016, or maybe 2019- what is your opinion on the best OS for this 12th gen hardware?

What would you say the noise is like on the r320? I have a pair of r220s and they are basically silent at idle, I can sleep in the same room as them but I'm finding myself really limited by the lack of PCIe ports, having to chose between 10Gbe or a storage adapter, the r320 would solve that problem if they were about as quiet as the r220.

Is there another way to install an OS without using a virtual disk? Im using random consumer HDDs by the way.

@jj-icejoe6642 Год назад

OS Idle - 84W and Winbloat ? No thank you !

@Dan-pe7xk 2 года назад

Why do you say raid 5 is bad for HDD?

@leonardotoschi585 Год назад

I think r320 is better than 330, this had e5 low profiles but up to 10 cores, 330 takes e3 v6 wich are STILL quad cores newer but sower, gonna purchase one with 2430v2 and 16gb to do routering on pfsense
